Thank you for the reasonable feature request.

Description: May we please have a more in-depth relevance rating system for Boolean Full-Text searches? The same relevance rating system used by non-boolean full-text queries would be wonderful! Thank you in advance! How to repeat: select * from table-name where match (column-names) against ('words-to-query' in boolean mode); This query will produce wonderful results, which happen to be very difficult to order by relevance. Suggested fix: My suggestion is to enhance the boolean search relevance rating system to match to system used by non-boolean searches.
